3. The Emmerson Beanie

Hello hello day 3!

Today's beanie is a variation on yesterdays stitches. I love how sweet and delicate this little beanie is, and I do mean little. Designed for a bub of 16 weeks gestation, this hat will hit easily into the palm of your hand. Of course, you can easily upsize it with a thicker yarn, but you may want to add an extra sc round for more height.
